Names, dates, quotes and single words — the most personal tattoos there are. Great lettering is typography first: spacing, flow and letterform quality decide whether a script piece looks custom or clip-art. Our lettering designs are generated as compositions, not fonts.
A sea turtle carries longevity, guidance home, peace — and Script & Lettering's typography give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the shoulder, calf, foot.
